You aren't wrong!
Beautiful girls, you are right to be proud!! Mine is turning 2 on 4/12 and tells me, "play pool? Play pool DOWNstairs" every day. She loves to put the balls in the pockets, then take them out over and over again (guess the fact that I don't have ball return is ok!). She tells me the color of each ball too, but is a bit unsure of the stripes...thanks for the pleasant thoughts!

Keith McCready
My little girl plays too. She's eight. I took her to a tournament with me one time and she had the chance to meet Keith McCready. Keith actually took over an hour giving her a lesson as to how to shoot. Keith was teaching her the side arm technique. She's been shooting really well with it because it allows her to get her head over the cue by leaning over. She's really not tall enough to use a traditional stroke. At any rate, she's improving rapidly and she came home from daycare yesterday and told me that they are having a pool tournament to raise money on friday night. I'm so excited and so is she. Maybe this is a sign that pool is losing some of that negative stigma and truly becoming a family game.

I also have an eight yr old girl. I taught her how to count using the pool balls. I was surprised to find that by age 3 she had the color of the balls memorized.
A few years ago I built platform attachments for her shoes out of scrap wood and velcro. They were somewhat successful but hard to walk in. I guess that answers the question of "Am I a pool geek?".
I would really like to pass on to her my love of the game. I'm having trouble keeping her interested and teaching her the correct way to do things (bridge and stroke etc. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
